Synopsis
From Dramatic Publishing:
Everybody wanted to play the Palace. It represented glamour and
excitement and home to the greatest talent of its day. All that
remains is an empty theatre and its "ghost light," which gives
a glow that is a constant reminder of the stars who performed
on its stage. Rosie and her friends are determined to restore
the Palace to its former splendor, but they must find a way to
stop the developers who want to tear it down and build a
condominium in its place. Join in the fun—sing and dance to the
greatest songs associated with stars like Eva Tanguay, "I Don't
Care"; Joe Howard, "I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now?"; Nora Bayes,
"Shine on Harvest Moon"; George M. Cohan, "Give My Regards to
Broadway"—and help Rosie make her dream come true.
